Marriage:
“Why isn’t it all about me?” Go back to the foundation of what marriage is all about. You can build a strong marriage if the foundation is solid.

Why a marriage conference?
Are there areas of your marriage that you’d love to see improve? Maybe things are going ok, but they could get much better? Or, perhaps things are a little upside down in your relationship and you need to spend some time refocusing on what your marriage is all about? It’s time to move from survive to thrive in your marriage! Join us for this one day conference and give your marriage the focus it deserves.
You will experience teaching, interactions, laughter, and inspiration throughout the day that will encourage and enrich your marriage. This is for couples from newlyweds to those who have been together many years.
The conferences are generally led by Steve & Kristina Broughton and facilitated by Ken & Lori Rudisell. This conference will be led by Steve Broughton. For more information about Restoring Hope please visit: www.restoringhopeministries.com .

Ken & Lori Rudisell
Ken and Lori have been married since 2009 and reside in Wooster, Ohio. After attending a conference from Restoring Hope Ministries, they have felt called to minister to the other couples in their community. They are the parents of two college-age students and a fourth grader. They enjoy the outdoors, traveling, sports and taking road trips together. Ken works as manager of Product Documentation for a software company and Lori works part-time for Ohio Hospice. From their own struggles, Ken and Lori learned the importance of having an intentional marriage that is surrounded by God and a strong community. They have become proactive in strengthening their own relationship as well as those marriages around them. They are excited to see the Lord do His redemptive work in so many hearts and lives, restore marriages, create vision, and truly make all things new.

What will you learn?
Conflict:
“What were you thinking?” Conflict is inevitable in relationships. We can’t learn how to avoid it, but we can learn how to work through it.
Forgiveness:
“When will you let it go?” This is the most powerful tool in the marriage toolbox. To get past hurts, forgiveness is the key!
Communication:
“Are you listening to me?” Do you love to be heard? Well, what about listening? Communication in marriage is a 2-way venture.
Priorities:
“Who’s on first?” When the least important things take up the most amount of time, your marriage takes a hit. Let’s learn how to put first things first.
Intimacy:
“You have a headache?” Truth is intimacy is about way more than sex. We will spend some time learning about how God designed intimacy to begin outside of the bedroom.
